As a Baby Boomer I was born at exactly the right time to enjoy the longest period of peace and prosperity and freedom that the world has ever seen.

Yes I saw the original Mickey Mouse Club and "Leave it to Beaver" on the TV.
I lived in a Midwestern town that was 99.9% white and totally safe for kids.

Then I lived in San Francisco during the golden hippie years. Right on the beach in the area called Sunset.
I drove a thumping great muscle car with a 450 cubic inch V8 but gas was only 25 cents a gallon.

Then I had the sense to move to Australia and marry an Australian.
Thank god for that because America and Europe are going downhill fast.

I live in a mud brick house in a rainforest just outside of Melbourne. All I can see from my windows are trees and ferns because three sides of my property back onto a National Park which can never be built out.

Yep, I have been very lucky.

Me too, but for slightly different reasons. My siblings were all born the mid to late seventies & if I was born in 1981 I would be closer in age to them & my life might actually make more sense. Also, I've always had a lot of older friends & if I was born in 1981 I would be able to truly be friends with them. It would be nice because then I would be able to get along with people my own age better & perhaps I might even be happier too. Also, the 80s & 90s were pretty cool, I especially like the 90s & watch a lot of shows from that time period. Another time period I like is the 1960s, they had really good music back then & I've always really liked hippies. However, the only thing I'd miss if I was growing up then would be the internet. I love the internet.


no amanda i need you more little than me not older :?

I would have liked to have been born in 1970's instead of 1993.

Sometimes, I wished I had been around at the time my great-grandparents were around to see what life was like ...

I feel like an anachronism. I have conservative traditional values that are all but extinct in today society least here in America. In the old days people got along & helped each other out instead fighting & trying to con & screw everyone else over.
I'm into SyFy some; I'm a big Star Trek fan & space exploration, meeting other races/cultures & working together with advance technology is really appealing to me.
I have some disabilities that it it very difficult for me to get a job but I think I would of had an easier time in the old days because the jobs were different. If I lived in the future; it's likely technology could help my disabilities & the jobs would be different as well.
